Live plants with RETF

[tinkgirl77]

Hello and welcome to ff! First off, congrats for doing research first! It's so much safer for your future kiddos to research ave prepare their homes ahead of time. I have a community retf tank that's been up & running for 2.5 years. I will say first off that live plants make a huge difference for maintaining the humidity levels. Tips I've learned : go tough & smooth. What I Mean is seek plants that are tough bc those retfs can get heavy & are quite clumsy. Mine really love the "african mask" aroid and the pothos I have. I also think in my next build I will include draecena or snake plant.
As for smooth, look for plants with smooth, not sharp/pointy sides or ends. Retfs are so clumsy & goofy. Their skin is also super soft and easily damaged. So adjusting sharp edges will hopefully save them from injury.

Bill & heather also have GREAT plant suggestions for retfs as who. Hopefully they will chime in soon. But hopefully that will help you for now. Best if luck to ya!
